Wishing’s Final Day

Megan’s Final Three Wishes
1. I wish I was more aware of and in-tune with my growing psychic gift.
2. I wish I was still losing weight and feeling healthy.
3. I wish I was taking a painting class.
You’ll note that my phrasing of these wishes has been refined and altered since my initial wish list. I was trying to find the easiest way to sum up the core of what I really wanted without stumbling over too many adjectives. Also, a few days into the process I decided that I could roll two wishes (I wish I painted one painting a week and I wish I had a painting teacher.) into one… My theory was that some kind of weekly class would have me painting regularly (my true goal in the first wish) and mean I’d have found a new teacher.
Also, even though I feel that making a difference in the lives of, or teaching, women is my purpose in life I knew it would do no good to put down what I thought I “should” be putting down. If I was going to do the exercise properly I needed to be true to myself and record the things that were really most important to me right now. As much as I want to make a difference in women’s lives, I know these are the things that would make the most immediate difference in mine.
I feel like these wishes, as I’ve written them here, are the most true and effective wording I’ve used through out the whole process. That they are my real right now wishes. I’m truly glad I did the exercise because I’m positive those wouldn’t have been the three things I had written down if I had been told to simply state my top three wishes.
Sometimes we need time and repetition to peel through all the layers and discover the truth about what we need in this moment.
So, how’d the wishing exercise go for you? Did you find it insightful? Inspiring? I’d love to hear your final three if you feel brave enough to share.
